Karl Towns vs Jahlil Okafor

[Malta]

I'm going with Okafor.

Also, what's you opinion on Cliff Alexander?

I need to see Alexander play against people his size or bigger than himself, he was physically dominant in HS, but he's "only" 6'8" in shoes and dudes that just physically overpower people prior to getting to the league usually have a really tough transition when they make it there.

Sixers are gonna have an interesting draft decision if Towns or Okafor are sitting there. They already fukked up once missing out on a player like Cousins.

It depends, if Embiid is legit then between Towns and Okafor they have to go with Towns because he's projected on being able to hit the NBA 3. See who the better player + fit is between Noel and Towns and move on from there...

Everything with the Sixers really depends on whether or not Embiid will be healthy and can develop.

We can't fukk it up in my opinion Noel may just be meant to be a 3rd energy big off the bench. I wouldn't pass up on Towns or Okafor because of him.

One problem with that is we won't know how legit Embiid is by the time these guys enter the draft. I've watched every Sixers game so far and Noel to me will be trade bait or a 6th man if Towns/Okafor prove to be one of the top 3 picks.

Again this is going to very tough for the Sixers front office. Its basically them crossing their fingers on Embiid's health and most likely going with Towns to spread the floor, like you said. We can't miss again though.

There's always a chance you all take Mudiay and move MCW, you were close to doing that before Embiid got hurt, Exum would have been in Philly IMO.

Thinking about it more, I'd just take Towns if I'm the Sixers, mainly because he would help add balance to the lineup since Saric can't shoot yet and Nerlens would be able to start next to him since Towns has center size.

This draft is really deep when it comes to big men, if the Lakers were smart they could get Mudiay and buy a pick later to get them a C with potential.

LAL has one of Houston's 1st round picks from the Lin deal, I believe

If it was my choice, I'd just pick Stanley Johnson or Kelly Oubre because we are fukking deprived of wing players on this team and are absolutely hurting in that department. The only legit wing we have is KJ. We need wing talent badly.

Wait until next year for the wing, Jaylen Brown is a more explosive, more athletic, better shooting Stanley Johnson.



Stay away from Oubre, he has bust written all over him, dude can't shoot and with Saric basically being your SF of the future why take a guy that plays SF that can't shoot?

Mudiay would be a waste of a pick he doesn't bring anything that we don't have with MCW and Wroten. PG is the last position we should be worried about right now. It would be hustling backwards at this point when there's so many other holes we have to fill.

 

[FAH1223]

PG is a position of immense depth right now

I go big man in the top 5 IMO

I prefer Johnson over Oubre myself, but I'll wait until I watch Oubre actually play to judge him. There's alot of wings in the draft this year to look at: Winslow, Selden, Levert, Hezonja, Johnson, Oubre and Rondae Hollis Jefferson. We got two first rounders so we'll probably have a shot at one of them. If we could haul in something like Okafor and Hezonja

Winslow, Johnson and Hezonja are the best wings in this years draft, everybody else is just

Which is why it was pointless for the Sixers to even go down the route of pairing Embiid and Noel together in the first place.
